Vol. 234 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Mayo Harbours and Piers.

9.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he has investigated the faults at Killala Harbour, County Mayo as pointed out to him by a Killala deputation; and, if so, with what result.

The question of improvement works at Killala harbour is being urgently examined at present but I cannot yet say what the outcome may be.

10.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries the number and names of harbours and piers inspected in County Mayo by a survey team.
